And yet we beat you every year in football and have won 2 NC and 4 SEC champs and a final 4 in basketball that time period. You've done absolute nothing. Why are you talking about us again? Is it possible to have less than nothing because that is Aggie.

Ole Miss: 8797

Had to be 80% outfield. Students definitely showed up for a 40 something degree day, and left field looked decent. The stadium itself looked like it was 45 degrees and wet. Tits out for the Rebs though. There are certainly people at Swayze to see this team

IN recent years, Arky has played its game on opening day on Friday afternoon. How stupid is that?

Well, thanks to one jackass against Tennessee two years ago, the right field ragers is almost completely gone. They're limiting the amount of beer and size of cooler you can bring in, so the student section is a sparse crowd.

Still won't forget waiting an hour and a half for the opening game for Maryland with hundreds of other students, anticipating to get in.

You mean in every year since Baum opened. We don't play night games until April because weather can be shitty and cold thru March.

Ole Miss usually takes their actual sold tickets and adds 4,000.

They claim that's what their outfield seats, 4,000-6,000. It doesn't. More like 1,500, if maxed out.

bullshite. Right field alone will have around 1,000 students in it. Not sure why you piggies are so obsessed over Ole Miss's baseball attendance suddenly. Go to a game at Swayze and you'll see the numbers are pretty damn accurate.

I happened to look up Pavilion capacity last week during our game at Ole Miss. Every Ole Miss source claimed "estimated capacity 9500".

Literally every other venue gives actual seating capacity. Bud Walton Arena, has 19,368 seats. That's how it is listed. On an extreme sell-out event, we've gotten 20,300 into the building, including croots, staff, teams, etc. But we don't estimate capacity. We list how many seats the building has.

So my assumption is the Pavilion has fewer than 9,000 seats, based on how Ole Miss lies about their numbers.

Ole Miss does this with everything. They count off-campus enrollment numbers to keep a slight edge over big brother MSU. It's how they roll. The truth betrays how small-time and mediocre everything is down there, and they hate that.

Sounds like a lot of people in Baton Rouge have nothing going on during a work week.

For the most part you can compare college baseball fan interest in any given season to how well the football team did in the same year and you will see that they are in reverse co-dependence of one another. In other words, LSU fans are going to love their baseball team this year.


We won the national title in 2007 in football, the following spring we led the nation in attendance again in baseball, made the cws, and set the SEC consecutive wins streak

Going to a baseball game is like going to a party. It’s fun in Baton Rouge. Would rather that then the club or the bar. Don’t compare it to baseball in Athens.

Here we go with the cold weather excuses again. Happens every year.
